DEFINITIONS

For the exclusive purpose of applying the Classification Plan, the words and the expressions used carry the meaning ascribed to them in the plan unless the collective agreement provides specific definitions. In this case, the latter prevails. The definitions of the Classification Plan are used to arrive at a better understanding.

Employment class

An employment class is a subdivision of the Classification Plan that defines specific activities and duties for positions, which have common characteristics in terms of the nature and complexity of the work and in terms of the qualifications and skills required.

Area of activities

Group of activities with common characteristics, for example, the laboratory area, the data processing area, the maintenance area, and the sports and physical activities area.

2.

PRINCIPLES TO BE OBSERVED IN APPLYING THE CLASSIFICATION PLAN

The assignment to an employment class is in line with the classification rules provided for in the collective agreements.

Contents of employment class description

The description given for each employment class includes the nature of the work, the minimum required qualifications and a non-exhaustive listing of characteristic duties.

Nature of work

This is a general statement that defines the area of activity and the level of responsibility of a particular position.

Required qualifications

The qualifications established in the Classification Plan constitute minimum requirements. They are usually established in terms of training, experience, legal requirements and, in some instances, in terms of specific hiring requirements.

Classification Plan - June 2012 2

Training

The training required for a technical support position or an administrative support position corresponds to a level of education certified by a diploma or an attestation of studies that constitutes the minimum level of required knowledge to carry out the duties of this position adequately. In the case of trade workers, training may also correspond to the possession of a qualification certificate.

Experience

When years of experience are required to fill a position, this experience must be pertinent, that is, experience which has prepared the candidate to carry out the duties of the position for which he has applied.

Other requirements

This part of the description of some employment classes provides for the additional requirements necessary to accomplish the job.

Some characteristic duties

This part gives a description of the main characteristic tasks and includes details necessary for a clear understanding, and provides specific tasks to facilitate the identification of the appropriate employment class. It is important to remember, however, that this part does not constitute an exhaustive description of the employee's tasks. Furthermore, the fact that an employee occasionally performs a task in a certain employment class does not mean that he is necessarily entitled to the job title of this employment class; it is the employee's principal and customary tasks that determine the appropriate employment class. However, it is not necessary to carry out all the tasks of an employment class to be entitled to this class. The volume or the complexity of the tasks of a range of work may necessitate a more marked specialization. Within the limits of a given area of activity, the functions of a lower income employment class are not repeated in the characteristic duties of a higher income employment class; however, these functions are a part of the duties that may be performed by the incumbent of this higher income employment class.
